FLEXIBLE OPERATION OF COAL FIRED POWER PLANTS & ENVIRONMENT, CHALLENGES
Introduction
Need for Integration of Large Scale
Renewables with Thermal Power
German Experiences in Flexibilisation of Thermal Power Plants
Adaption of Thermal Power Plants to
Fluctuating Renewables
The PLF and efficiency are no more the key drivers and these are overruled by better flexibility of the power plants. This new requirement calls upon thermal power plant to be subjected to India has set for itself a renewable energy target of 175GW by 2022 frequent load changes, cycling and two shift operation leading to and gradual reduction in contribution of thermal power, particlarly higher fatigue and creep induced stresses.coal based power in its energy mix. At present coal accounts for 54%

changes to implement coal flexing at large scale.
The German power industry has gained extensive experience in enhancing flexibilisation of their thermal power plants. This experience is very relevant to the transformation of our thermal power plants to meet the new emerging scenario in the Indian Power Sector.
The introduction of large scale renewables in the emerging energy
transition brings along with it a new set of challenges to be managed
by the power sector. The variability and intermittency of solar power
and wind power has to be managed and supplemented by other
sources of solar power and wind power has to be managed and The German power industry has much earlier witnessed the era of supplemented by other sources of energy in order to ensure the adaptation to renewable energy by flexibilisation of its thermal power

crucial with further growth of renewables in the coming years.
A recent study has projected that the difference between off peak
demand and peak demand after discounting renewables will be
80GW. This implies that the available capacities (other than
renewables) should be able to ramp up at rates exceeding
25 GW/hour.
The Adaption of coal based power plants to fluctuating renewables throws a new set of challenges for both existing and new Thermal Power Plants.
The units are able to achieve, high technical and operational flexibility, achieving stable load as low as 20%, high operational gradients, short ramp up time, high number of startups and load cycles, high efficiency as wide load range. The fuel flexibility has been also implemented as potential modifications to have better overall flexibility.
The various measures available to make the process of Thermal Power Generation cleaner & greener also bring along with it various new challenges for the power plant stakeholders. In addition, the measures to be adopted to make the process cleaner will ultimately enhance the cost of generation.

METHODOLOGY & FACULTY
VGB SUPPORT TO EEC
Thus VGB supports GIZ with technical experience to bring the EEC
into lively operation. A Memorandum of Understanding between VGB
and CEA was signed in 2010, and this is renewed time to time for the
successful Indo-German cooperation in EEC project.
VGB, Germany acts as the point of contact to access the German
power generation industry and provides facts and figures of the
energy supply in Germany. This also comprises the coordination of
the exchange of experiences from the German side.
Excellence Enhancement Centre (EEC) for Indian Power Sector was
conceptualized as part of bilateral cooperation between Govt. of
India and Govt. of Federal Republic of Germany and was set up The present seminar on “National Seminar on Flexible Operation of through an Implementation Agreement between BEE & CEA, Ministry
of Power, GOI and GIZ, Germany under the Indo German Energy Coal Fired Power Plants & Environment, Challenges” has been jointly Programme (Phase II), to promote dialogue in the area of Energy organized by Excellence Enhancement Centre (EEC) and Efficiency and Energy Security. It was registered as a non-profit Indo-German Energy Forum (IGEF) with the technical support of VGB. society under the India Societies Registration Act 1860 and started
The seminar will have three technical sessions (One before Lunch functioning from February 2012.
and two after Lunch) and it will cover 10-12 / presentations made by
the German/Indian Experts in Power Sector.
VGB Power Teche. V. is the European technical association for power The seminar will draw upon the experiences of German Power and heat generation. The association is based on a voluntary Industry in this field for almost two decades and will cover the membership of companies active in the field of power and heat various aspects related to technology, implementation process, generation.
